Spartan,
Your comments, as the resident photographer extraordinaire, are especially appreciated. My daughter-in-law truly has a gift, IMO. She is a recent grad from vet school, so she has that unique perspective when taking a photograph. She is also an extremely patient photographer, not afraid to spend an hour or more waiting. And, as you mention, she's not afraid to take A LOT of shots. We took almost 11 hours to paddle the S-Chain from Agnes to North Bay, patiently indulging her as she clicked away. And she sat for hours to get what she wanted for those eagle pics. For me, it was enlightening to see how much I was missing when I travel my normal mode.
